As long as you get most of the roots, tomatoes won't really care. I start mine in red solo cups with holes in the bottom.

Really? I tend to start late Feb/early March for a somewhat later last frost date. I have decent grow lights so the seedlings don't really get leggy. Our grown season also isn't super long, so I figure the older the plants are by the time they get in the ground the better.

Very nice. I've started seeds the past three years, but came down with the flu when I was planning on doing it. It looks like I still have a month until our last frost date and that's probably enough time. Maybe I should stop being lazy.

If you can, get some black plastic over the soil to help get temps up.

I tend to plant early after our last frost, when soil temps are still pretty low, and they plants don't really seem to care. They just don't take off that fast, but they do get less leggy.

I'm sure I'll get some hate, but honestly my phone most days as I am an office drone presently. Previously it was a Olight H2R with the "warm", but low CRI, XHP35.

On weekends I tend to carry an OG Frelux Synergy with a 95 cri warm nicha. They don't list it on their website anymore, but it's pretty similar to the 1.5. Very compact/pocketable, nice and floody, and more than bright enough for EDC use.

Tesla doesn't have a dealer network, you're buying direct. Their delivery and service quality is amusing at best.

Oh, you're right. I wonder if they will start contributing to webkit as a result.

I'm also happy that Chromium's total ~75% share, once you lump in edge, opera, brave, etc might maybe get chipped away a little.

Steve Oedekerk, the writer/star of King pow: enter the fist, is amazing in every way - especially if you were consuming media in the 90s. He

• wrote and directed when nature calls
• cowrote the nutty professor
• wrote including Patch Adams
• wrote Nutty Professor II: The Klumps - wrote and directed Bruce Almighty
• created thumbnation
• executive produced Jimmy Neutron and his studio gave us two Jimmy Neutron movies

What's the error? I had issues trying to upload photos taken on my pixel 3a. They were getting blocked by cloudflare. I traded some messages with an admin and even provided a raw photo. They looked into it, found something, adjusted it, and... still no dice.

I have no issues with my new OnePlus 12. For my 3a, editing the photos in any app, even just to very slightly crop them, would remove whatever was going on.

Ha, I mentally skipped the second yes. Agree, add that to the list.

Are you talking about Yandax? They announced that they're getting out of Russia.

I do wonder why they're not building on top of an open source engine or making their own engine open. We absolutely need an alternative to Chromium. It's sad that this likely won't be it.

Probably because they're building their own engine from scratch. Many of the popular browsers these days are built on Chromium or Webkit. The only "big" alternative these days is Gecko, which is what Firefox uses.

This matters because Chromium based browsers make up the vast majority of usage and Google has been using Chromium to drive web standards in the direction they think they should go.

Wikipedia has an overview, but doesn't really cover Chromium's market capture. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_engines

It depends what you're comparing against. Down relative to the very recent surge? Sure. If you zoom out on that chart you'll see they're still 2-4x more expensive than they were in the early 2020s.

I've only interacted with woodworkers online where people are generally helpful and supportive. Are they really nutjobs in real life?

The old "privacy focused" setting made speech processing local. The new "privacy focused setting" means that processing will happen on a remote server, but Amazon won't store the audio after it's been processed. Amazon could still fingerprint voices with the new setting, to know if it was you or your parents/parter/kid/roommate/whomever and give a person specific response, but for now at least they appear to not be doing so.

This all seems like it's missing the point to me. If you own one of these devices you're giving up privacy for convenience. With the old privacy setting you were still sending your processed speech to a server nearly every time you interacted with one of those devices because they can't always react/provide a response on their own. Other than trying to avoid voice fingerprinting, it doesn't seem like the old setting would gain you much privacy. They still know the device associated to the interaction, know where the device is located, which accounts it's associated with, what the interaction was, etc. They can then fuse this information with tons of other data collected from different devices, like a phone or computer. They don't need your unprocessed speech to know way too much about you.

It's all in the wording, but I think it's also the contradiction between the first and second/third sentences.

Yes yes, intelligent woman be intimidating to some people.

Acknowledges that intelligent women are intimidating to some. It also uses present tense, which implies the author knows this is still the case.

But how old is this, is it still that bad? The "computer girl" could be around 2000.

Ah "it". Which it? That some people are intimidated by intelligent women or that the author encountered a ton of sexism?

I think it's ok to ask how prevalent sexism still is these days, especially if you personally experience it / don't participate in a field dominated by the opposite gender.

Something like "I thought society would have finally realized this behavior wasn't appropriate after me too, is that not the case?" sounds less tone deaf.

I have an A9II and find its tracking flexible spot is way better than focusing on my OnePlus 12. Granted, a cellphone will have more depth of field than a camera so maybe this is a moot point. The other advantage to me is speed/reactivity/burst rate. Bees love flowers and flowers sway in the wind. Not to mention that bees don't stay still for long, lol.

I am somewhat tempted by Sony's 70-200 f4 ii. It nearly matches the 0.6x magnification of my former setup with 0.5x magnification. At 200mm its minimal focal distance is 16.5" and the lens is about 8" long extended. This means you'll have 8.5" between the front of the lens and the bee. For comparison, Tamron's 90mm macro offers 1:1 magnification, but it's 5.1" long and it's minimum focal length is 9". This only leaves 4" between the front of the lens and bee. However, it does offer more magnification and is cheaper. I don't really like normal zooms/use primes for that territory, so the 70-200 f4 ii is somewhat appealing. It can also take teleconverters so you can get more magnification out of it.

I'll probably start bee season with my phone and see how it goes. I was still rocking a pixel 3a last year.

I am very excited we're approaching spring here. On the other hand, I sold my OM-1 and don't have a macro lens for my Sony. I know phones can do this, but the focusing, light gathering, and burst rates of a dedicated camera make getting good bee shots so much easier.

Maybe I'll grab a lens.

So many things these days scream, "I want action, screw results!" It's almost like as society we don't understand mid/long term thinking anymore and are just constantly chasing instant gratification while digging deeper and deeper into the hole we're trying to get out of.

more than in any other industry that I have seen

I dunno, I work in auto and let me tell you some things. Granted, I've never worked in aviation.
